“Excellent Guide”
Yoshi S is a great guide! I enjoyed walking tour with him for 3 days. He is very knowledgeable and taught me a lot about Japanese life, history and religion. He speaks English very well and I recommend him for people of all ages. Even though he is a somewhat older gentleman he has a lot of energy and he walks faster than most people much younger. You won’t be disappointed if you hire him!

Hi Judy, thank you for your warm message. It is truly encouraging, as I intend to continue working as a guide as long as I am still able to walk well. It was an honor to meet you—a descendant of the Tokugawa shogunal family—and I thoroughly enjoyed the three days we spent together. Yoshi

“Tokyo walking tour with Yoshi”
Amazing experience with Yoshi during our day in Tokyo. From Asakusa to Sumida River cruise it was well organized by Yoshi. He also knows about a hole in a wall coffee shops and lunch places where it's mostly locals. Highly recommend.
